Chapter 28: The Lotus Ring's First Strike

  These days, Xia Yu Fei and Ao Yuan actually haven't mentioned going to the old mansion again. When searching for clues, Xia Yu Fei occasionally recalls that day when stretching or rubbing her eyes, and always feels like something in her heart has finally sprouted new buds after breaking through the soil.

  When something that a person once firmly believed in, even to the point of being an article of faith, suddenly collapses at some point, perhaps it is also when people truly grow up.

  But perhaps it's not enough to understand this point even if one exhausts his whole life.

  However, Xia Yanyan was not someone who spent her days idly indulging in sentimental sighs, lamenting how weak she was, why her brother had so many sisters, and why no one came to visit her. She seemed to be born with a lack of emotional nerves compared to others. If it weren't for this, perhaps when she learned that she only had three years left to live, she would have been scared to death.

  But Ke Ao Yuan's heart was not thinking so.

  He couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Xiaoyan, thinking that all these unlucky things were piling up on him.

  Ao Yuan originally thought that Xia Yunfei would be more dependent on him after crying bitterly by his side when she came out of the old summer house, but in fact, it turned out that "maybe" was a completely different meaning when reversed.

  That's definitely not.

  So, being too confident can be fatal.

  What he could see was that Xiaoyan Fei not only didn't collapse, but became even more confident and arrogant than before... uh, to put it in a more colloquial way, she became even more pretentious.

  In Xia Yu's own words, it means continuing to be optimistic and strive upwards every day, and to fight against the heavens and against people, with endless joy.

  In a sense, Xia Yuer is also an exceptionally strange person.

  Fortunately, she never denied this and was even quite proud of herself.

  On the fourth day after crying, it was a fine day. Xiaoyan sat in the study room eating an apple and said to Ao Yuan: "Anyway, I already know what they want to do, they think I don't know things but I actually know, and the things I know they may not know."

  Next to her was a stack of ancient books she had already read.

  Ao Yuan put down the teacup that was already at his lips, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to have a moving luster in the sunlight of the afternoon: "One sentence, I'm in the dark, you're in the light, but you can say such a long sentence. Fortunately, it's me sitting opposite you, if it were Fang Ying that kid, he would definitely not understand what you mean."

  Xia Yanfei immediately looked over with a puzzled (or gossiping) glance: "Hey, I'm saying, why do you always look at Fang Ying with such disapproval?"

  The Lord God said he didn't look down on ordinary people at all, but just casually held up a particularly cute acorn.

  Then he added a sentence, roughly saying Fang Ying's name was easier to pronounce.

  The girl sitting opposite him got this answer and silently covered her face: "I think teaching you to surf the internet is one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made, or perhaps not one of them."

  Ao Yuan took over Xiaoyanfei's tablet: "The wind is too strong, I couldn't hear clearly."

  Xia Yifei: Flip the table!

  The two of them finally calmed down after making enough noise. Ao Yuan picked up the tea that had gone cold: "What do you plan to do?"

  Xia Yifei supported her cheek with one hand, and played with a pair of walnuts in the other: "According to that ancient book, if they really want to get what they want, they must also find the remaining three things with dragon patterns, but I'm not sure what they are."
